In the Classic World of Darkness’ game line Hunter: the Reckoning the player characters are usually visited by some angelic looking beings. Or they get messages from them or otherwise communicate. At any rate, it’s assumed that angels are sending them out to seek out and stop the evil and unnatural. But it’s always been a bit vague with both the beings and the mission.

In the game line Demon: the Fallen, the titular demons are (also titular) fallen angels who escaped their imprisonment recently and just now being back and exploring our world. From their point of view, things have changed – not only with the passage of time, but there is a very distinct lack of God or the other of God’s agents and former brethren and later opponents – the angels.

So, that puts the two game lines a bit at odds – one claims angels exist, others that they are very definitely not around any more. These two game lines do have angels as a core concept – other game lines tend to take different stances on this and it varies on the individual and the cosmology view, so it’s not at all clear cut if there even are “angels” and whether angels are actual angels or something that looks like ones. So, I won’t get into those.

My question is – has the Hunter: the Reckoning angelic beings ever been more or less definitively explained? Perhaps by in official sources but not in official books – e.g., blog post, interview, etc. Or have they always been left vague?

So has there been any group that managed to bypass the Image CAPTCHAs using reverse image search?

whats stopping people from writing a script that bypasses these CAPTCHAs by reverse image searching via many services like google and make a choice?

and can anyone provide me useful web services that do reverse image search other than google?

the only one i know is https://tineye.com/

and also can this be done? i can imagine writing a python script that cuts one of the 9 images in the captcha and then reverse searches it using a website, but the real challenge is how to make sense of the results and come to conclusion that whether this is for example a store front or not? any ideas?

My question is this: How exactly does the stratum protocol distribute “work” to miners? More specifically, since mining can be compared (in many regards) to “brute forcing” a cryptographic hash (i.e. hashing random inputs until, by luck, a random input matches a desired output), wouldn’t it make sense to keep track of potential solutions submitted and confirmed as invalid for a particular block, and to somehow communicate that to miners so the same work is not being done over and over again?

I realize this would require a lot of overhead, but it would seem worthwhile. Is there any mechanism to ensure two independent miners do not waste time working on the same inputs? Could sending a different seed for random number generation to every miner upon the start of a new round of mining have effect? I’ve read simplistic descriptions of mining as simply incrementing the nonce until a solution is found, but I’ve also read much more detailed explanations which would imply much more is involved. Even if only the nonce is changed in the input, the pool would still need to assign each miner a unique nonce to try after each submission, no?

As a final, semi-unrelated question regarding the implications of storing solutions: Say a pool stored every solution it had ever received, considering the massive size of the bitcoin network, would this not eventually become a statistically significant (in terms of usability) database of sha256 collisions? And eventually, could enough data be collected to come up with a derivation for SHA256? At minimum, could a pool with malicious intent temporarily divert unknowing miners’s computing power to crack SHA256 based TLS signatures or PGP public keys? Especially a pool which also controlled the hardware and software on the majority of its devices (e.g. Antpool).

I found that the ser software registered the article account via email. According to the software log, these accounts have been registered successfully. But I don’t know where to find the account information. And no information can be found in the list of successful submissions.

We have multiple products that belong together, a suite of products. They all share a single-sign-on solution ie users can log in to one of the products and are automatically logged in to all of the other products they might have access too. Users can only be logged in to one account at a time ie if they have an active session and go to any of the products log in pages they are automatically re-directed to the products dashboards.

Users can be invited to use these products. Upon invitation, they have to create an account. As soon as they create their account they are logged in to the product. The flow is like this:

User receives invitation email > User clicks accept invitation > User sees a create account screen in their browser > User enters their name and password and clicks “create profile” > The user is logged in to the product.

Now, imagine a user has an account and is logged in using email-1. They now receive an invitation for email-2. They accept the invitation. The create profile view is opened in a new tab in their browser. When they click “create profile” they are logged in to the product with email-2. Their previous login for email-1 is ended and they are automatically logged out from that account.

What should the user see when they go to that tab? What is a good message?

We’re thinking a modal with a message saying they have been logged out due to the fact they logged in with a new account. They will also get two options: 1) Continue with email-2. This basically refreshes the window, close the modal and they are now in their email-2 account. 2) Log back in with email-1. This logs them out from all accounts and they are taken to the product login view. In this case if the user goes to their second tab they see the same modal and message but for the other account.
